Weissberg Foundation

Founded in 1988 and based in Virginia, the Weissberg Foundation is a family foundation deeply rooted in the vision, values, and experience of its founder, Marvin Weissberg. The Foundation supports organizations and efforts building power of those most negatively impacted by racism.  We envision a world that recognizes inequities and actively seeks to dismantle structural racism by continuously building access, opportunity, and power so that all can thrive. As the Foundation prepares to significantly expand its philanthropy throughout Virginia, we commit to:

·      Building power of those most negatively impacted by racism as the central path to transforming systems.

·      Proactively messaging the benefits of racial equity and justice while combatting disinformation, misinformation, and extremism.

·      Racial wealth building and working towards acknowledgement, apology, atonement, and repair of the generational harms caused by structural racism.

·      Identifying and combatting structural racism in electoral processes.

·      Activating 100% of assets for racial equity and justice.
